losthitsu's review against another edition
3.0
I bought this book because I fell in love with the beautiful illustrations, and as such I didn't have too high expectations for the text itself which was probably for the best. The writing is tediously difficult to follow, sentences are far too long and often 'decorated' with (unsourced!!) citations that make it even harder to follow the meaning. It's really a shame because a bit of editing work would save an otherwise enjoyable and informative book - it's still a joy to look at though, so not regretting I own this one.
